Generally speaking, we do not think much about the plumber employed to make repairs around the house, until things go wrong. It is usually at this point, when it is too late, and people wish they had put more effort into finding a really reliable tradesman.

As with most things in life you, generally get what you pay for and home or office maintenance is no exception. It is when we wait for things to break down and have to call out repair services in an emergency that things start to go wrong.

Typically home owners rush to the yellow pages or hastily search for local plumbing services on the internet. Then it often happens that advertisers on the first page of the plumbing section in the local directory, or at the top of the search engine results, get called first. Remember this may only indicate that their name starts with an A or they know a lot about search engine optimization. Sadly it reveals nothing about what kind of plumbers they may be.

When consumers are reacting in an emergency, say with a blocked drain or a burst pipe, they may often make knee jerk decisions. It may seem logical and in your best interests to accept the fastest responding service. However, using untested repair services without references can result in poor service, poor workmanship and second rate materials.

It is very good practice to research your local services before making a decision on which service to use in your home or business premises. But how can one do this when your kitchen is under water or your toilet is blocked.

The following advice may sound glib but the trick is to build a relationship with a well sourced professional in less pressured times. For example if looking for a surgeon, an attorney or a music teacher, it would be highly unlikely to appoint the first one found in the local directory.

Ask around amongst neighbors for recommendations, consult trade organizations. Visit the premises of a local plumbing company, the way they appear will reveal a lot about how they operate. It may even be possible to invite a likely prospect to your house or business and meet them.

Above all the choice of a plumbing service needs to be an informed decision based not only response time but also performance, quality of work and ongoing support. Build a relationship with a top end tradesman who can manage a comprehensive plumbing maintenance program and stop running from crisis to crisis.

Plumbing and heating systems require regular checks and servicing, which covers health and safety as well as your systems and equipment. Through regular checks, they will become familiar with your system and premises. One can never say that a breakdown or failure will never occur. But over time most problem areas will be revealed and can be attended to before they become an after hours emergency.

Although you may pay a little more in the beginning the benefits of employing a reliable plumber will pay handsomely over the longer term.
